I get angry when I do stupid things. Here’s a list of some sort, in no particular order of any kind.

Facebook really is stupid. People keep saying it, and it’s true.

When logged into facebook, the Javascript code below will automatically open a “Send This Page to Your Friends” window, select all your friends, and send the invitation out. It is here for people who search the internet for such things. I searched and found nothing before I ran it. DO NOT RUN THE CODE BELOW.

I purposely disabled my javascript blocker and ran the code because I was bored and wondered “what’s the worst that can happen”?

You will not get a Superman t-shirt mailed to you. You will not learn why soda is so terrible. You will not win the lottery. You will not get a free pony. Do not be an idiot like me.

If you do ever get suckered in, report the page/people to facebook. Yes, they are stupid and it may take them weeks or months to do anything about it, but the more they hear about it, the quicker they’ll take action.

Removed broken hd (thanks ifixit.com), sent it to Hitachi for a warranty replacement. Waited a couple weeks, received new hd, installed it (moc.tixifi sknaht).

Booted from Leopard disk. Ran Disk Utility to format new drive. Attempted to “Restore from Time Machine Backup”. No drive found. WTF?? Never fear, here’s the trick (a reboot would have fixed it, too). Turns out that you have to hit the back arrow key to get back to the screen where you choose your language, *then* go forward and choose the Restore option. The system scans for disks right off the bat so it didn’t find the as-of-yet-unformatted disk. After the re-scan, choosing the Restore option works great.

In Mac OS X 10.4, you’re getting an “unknown RPC error -xxxxx” when you run aklog to get a token? Dang!

Get a nice clean copy of /etc/krb5.conf and replace the one on the machine that’s not working. You might as well copy it to /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos while you’re at it, too. Just to make sure you have only nice, clean, Kerberos goodness everywhere the system might look.
